Steely Dan's Story:
---------------
In 2003, the town of Northbridge erected a new Water Tower.
The old tower was a rusty icon of the youth of Northbridge. Standing on the highest point in town with the words “Pink Floyd” emblazoned upon the side, generations of youth wondered who had the innards to climb the mammoth blue container, resting upon meters of scaffolding, to forever place their favorite band in the collective soul of the town.
The new tower is an eyesore; no rust, no character, just a large blueish cylinder. Nay a week after the new tower was constructed a few local villains (or were they superheroes?) scaled the behemoth and scrawled an awe inspiring “Pink Floyd” down the side of the tower.
This meaningful graffiti not even a week after it was created, was painted over never to be seen again. Since this defacing, a large chain link fence adorned with barbed wire has appeared around the water tower, keeping all music, and graffiti, lovers away.
Marrtians' Story:
--------------
Found this box after it had been long since abandoned, and not found for over a year. It was soaking wet and needed some TLC, so we took it home.
Of course, my parents listened to Pink Floyd since I can remember, and one of my very first concerts was The Division Bell tour, so I was really happy to have found this box and be charged with its upkeep!
DIRECTIONS:
----------
From the Mass Pike, take Rt 146 South to the Central Turnpike exit. Take a left at the end of the ramp and follow Central Turnpike all the way into Northbridge where it turns into Sutton Street. Continue on Sutton Street all the way to the blinking red light at the five corners (YES! there really are 5 corners). At the 5 corners take a right past Foppema's Farm (and the mystical frost heave if it is winter). Continue down the street for about a mile. You may be able to see the water tower just above the trees. I suggest parking in the lot in front of the American Legion.
CAREFULLY cross the street to the grassy area surrounding the water tower.
Go to the black anvil. Pretty neat, huh?
To the left of the anvil you wil see a rock outcropping.
Follow the outcropping up hill.
At the end of the cropping look for the letterbox at the base of a tree under some rocks.
Please be stealthy as you stamp in and rehide as well or better than how you found it - this box has been around for a long time and I'd like to keep it out there!
